Warner Bros has released 4 new Comic-Con promo posters for “Green Lantern”, which give us our first look at Mark Strong as Sinestro.  How cool is this?

Having been at this past weekend’s panel for the film at Comic-Con, I can tell you that the footage is pretty damn kickass.  While the suit was not shown, we do see a clip of the ring manifesting itself into a giant green fist as Jordan knocks down a group of thugs.  Other members of the Green Lantern Corps such as Tomar-Re are also shown, along with brief glimpses of Abin-Sur (Temuera Morrison), Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard), and Senator Hammond (Tim Robbins).

Reynolds also recited the Green Lantern oath to widespread applause, which can be seen here.

“Green Lantern” hits theaters June 17, 2011.

Entertainment Weekly has featured an image of Ryan Reynolds as The Green Lantern. All I can say is this seems like pretty good casting…at least better than Green Hornet.

An 8-minute clip has surfaced on the net which features select characters from “Mortal Kombat”. While little is known about the origin or purpose of this footage, it certainly does display some high production value. Characters Jax and Sonya Blade, played by Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan, make appearances as police detectives interviewing various characters from the franchise. Other appearances include Reptile, Baraka, Johnny Cage, Sub-Zero, Shang Tsung, and a final character revealed at the end.

Could this be a teaser for the MK reboot that’s apparently been in development? Well, CHUD has stated that the footage is definitely related to a new film, further elaborating that the fight scenes were choreographed by Larnell Stovall and directed by Kevin Tancharoen. Check it out below!

UPDATE: This is the official teaser for the upcoming “Mortal Kombat Rebirth” film.

Yes, the concept art below is the real deal…

JULY 20th, 2012! Warner Bros made the official announcement earlier today. Along with that, you might have already heard of the 20-film deal that the studio has signed with IMAX – “Batman 3″ and the Superman reboot both being on the list. Under the deal, Warner Bros is contracted to release 20 of their future projects in the IMAX format. While this does not necessarily mean the films will be shot in IMAX, there is already talk from director Chris Nolan and cinematographer Wally Pfister taking on the challenge for the third Bat installment.

As you might recall, “The Dark Knight” began principal photography in April 2007 with a July 2008 release date. Expect a similar schedule for the next film, which will likely begin filming in April 2011.

Once again, “Batman 3″ hits theaters July 20th, 2012!

Wally Pfister, longtime cinematographer for director Chris Nolan, was recently interviewed with Cinematical regarding his shooting plans for the third Batman installment. When asked about whether “Batman 3″ would be shot in 3D, Pfister stated that he and Chris Nolan have shown a “mutual disinterest” in the format and commented with the following:

“I did it for one shot of The Dark Knight because he said, you have to say you did it, and literally I had this strapped to my shoulder and I was carrying it. But I think Chris is game for doing something interesting like that, Lord knows that the 3-D fad might pass by the time that summer comes around.”

Despite not shooting in 3D, Pfister did reveal that he and Nolan have had discussions on shooting the entire film in IMAX:

“What Chris and I have talked about is doing something cool and something interesting.  ”[Director] Brad Bird was [saying] ‘you’ve got to shoot the whole thing in IMAX!’ I was like, yeah, I’ve talked to Chris about that.”

Pfister also shared some of Nolan’s thoughts about shooting on celluloid film versus digital:

“But I know one thing about the film that Chris is adamant about is that he wants to shoot on film.  He doesn’t want to shoot on video, and I’m the same way.”

Well, I suppose we’ve heard as much as we need to be convinced that Chris Nolan will indeed be directing the third film, right?  While we still can’t confirm anything without an official announcement, Batman-on-Film has actually stated that Warner Bros is scheduled to announce the third film in July – do I hear Comic-Con?  Stay tuned.
